Topic: Personal Reflections

Summary: It can cost a lot of money to be a missionary or to support missions. Other costs include loss of time with family and the stress of adjusting to unfamiliar places. These are the costs of being present with people so they can meet Jesus. Learning to appreciate Jesus’ presence that others bring to us, and the costs others pay, can help us in what we do.
